IP core (Verilog or VHDL code) in Xilinx and Vivado is open source or encrypted?
I had a question how much I can determine whether the IP core is encrypted or Verilog code is open to editing?
I attached an IP core that is built in the synthesis can you guide me that this IP core source is open?
I was faced with some strange lines. Is this IP core source encrytped?
As you were told it is all encrypted though some files are given extension like vhd or v.
It is obvious they are not vhd or verilog (I blame xilinx for such silly naming)
Did you even bother to look at any of the VHDL files in the IP directories? If you had spent 30 seconds opening the files one at a time you would have seen all the design files are encrypted.
BTW, it took longer to download and unzip the archive than it took to look through all the HDL files to see if they were all encrypted (other than a testbench and some wrapper files).

They are VHDL or verilog...they are encrypted, if you have the decryption key and the decryption algorithm you can convert them to clear text. That is what the vendor tools do (simulators, synthesis, etc).
